Zone-In or Zone-Out

Not sure if it’s just me, but when I’m at the office with  a fair bit of work to do, I’ll randomly zone out for a short while. Why? I don’t know, but my theory is so that I can take a mental break from juggling a million tasks at once. Or in other words, just clear my mind. How long does this zoning-out last? I would say anywhere from a couple of seconds to several minutes (or what seems like several minutes). During my moment, I’ll be totally fixated on something, usually an arbitrary spot on the wall, monitor, desk and completely drown out all sound, senses and awareness of what’s going on around me. I think, at least temporarily it allows me to escape the madness (good madness, of course). This is normal, right? I can’t be the only one that does this.

On an entirely tangential note, I love, love, love my Palm Pre.  Sit tight until I post up my review of my favorite new gadget.

Overnight Windshield Crack

I kid you not, this crack appeared out of nowhere. I hopped in my car this morning and immediately noticed the 11 inch crack running through my sight. *sigh* I was really hoping it was some kind of strange illusion, but it twas not.

My first windshield crack ever. =(

Wilford Brimley, You Brighten My Day

I’m pretty sure that everyone and their mom has seen the Liberty diabetes commercials, but just in case you haven’t (because you’ve been living under a rock) you need to watch the following video to truly appreciate the next two I’ve posted.


Now, watch these:


This one is my favorite!

I don’t know about youu, but these videos cracked a big smile on my face. Not only that, I was humming the tune all day. Hope it has the same effect on you. =)

Star Trek? Star Trek!!!

I’ve seen my fair share of Star Trek on TV growing up, but I haven’t watched a single episode since the early 90s. Since it had been so long, I have to admit I was a wee bit nervous that Star Trek the movie might be a little too “trekky” for me to handle. To my surprise and relief, it had a perfect blend of action and classic references that all levels of Star Trek fans could appreciate. If you haven’t seen it, please do! Treat yourself to a few hours of quality geeky entertainment.

Here’s a little something to hold you over until you see it, brought to you by The Onion.

Oh and ps, I LOVED Zachary Quinto as Spock.  I’m already a huge fan of his from his role as Sylar in Heroes, but he not only pulls the look of Spock really well, his acting was spot on – mildly awkward and arrogant. =D

Mr. Raccoon

Strange seeing a raccoon in the parking lot. Must’ve gotten lost.
